Kate Hanley Gives Generously to Bulova

Secretary of the Commonwealth Katherine K. Hanley, a former chair of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, is playing an aggressive role in trying to make sure a Democrat wins her old job.

According to campaign finance reports, Hanley donated $4,000 last week to Braddock District Supervisor Sharon Bulova (D), who is running against Springfield District Supervisor Pat Herrity (R) in the Fairfax chairman's race.

Hanley's donation last week is on top of the $1,000 she gave Bulova last month. Hanley served as the chairwoman of the Fairfax Board from 1995 to 2003. In 2006, Gov. Timothy M. Kaine (D) asked her to join his cabinet.
